Technical Lecture 26 March – Supacat Lecture

This lecture is a presentation on Innovation and Safety – Engineering High Performance Marine and Specialist Off Road Vehicles

Presented by Steve Austin, Supacat

The last 30 years has seen a transformation in performance in the marine and specialist off road sectors, while simultaneously attempting to reduce the risk to the safety and wellbeing of the operator, be they professional, private or volunteer.

In this highly visual presentation, Steve Austen will draw on his involvement with this transformation at the MoD, RNLI and SC Group from Lifeboats to Jackals, running through the key features, development steps and some of the knockbacks associated with development and draw out some common themes associated with innovation and safety we can all identify with.

This lecture is the first of two linked lecture taking place at the RNLI College in Poole.
